SAVAGE WEEKEND (1978, although there are various years of release). My copy is on one of those 100 movies collections and not the best quality. While story is not that great, believe it was one of, if not the first , film dealing with a masked killer stalking victims-although they are adults, not teens, being made before HALLOWEEN and FRIDAY, THE 13th.
Very low budget-counted at least six times the boom mike dropped into view and some rough acting but while it has cliches that became prevalent in the genre, they are presented differently (eg an outrageously gay man is nothing like You would normally expect) and some decent grue. Also, two extremely odd scenes that raised my eyebrows. **1/2
